Okay so I know it's nearly been a week already into the New Year, I'm sorry, but I am still working on my procrastination, I suppose I should put that one at the top of my 'things to work on' list... If I ever get around to making one of those. :)
So without further ado, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and were able to spend time with your loved ones. I was lucky enough to have my Mom visit me over the holidays while in the Netherlands, for approximately 3 and 1/2 hours. Yes, you read correctly. She worked a flight to Belgium, where a family friend, Hilde, was kinda enough to pick her up from the airport, bring her straight to the show in Utrecht (a two hour drive), watch the show, and proceed to visit for a few hours before driving her back to Belgium that same evening to catch her flight home early the next morning. The record has officially been set for the shortest visit yet! Fortunately, like all of my mother's visits, short, but certainly very sweet. She was able to bring a little bit of Christmas to me. But for real, the whole shebang, from wrapped presents, to a whole turkey dinner with Christmas cookies on the side! Not only did she bring Dad's delicious, and very traditional, homemade stuffing (my favourite), but enough baked goods to feed the entire cast! Needless to say, I'm sure her carry-on luggage surpassed the TSA's (Transportation Security Administration) carry-on weight regulations.
It was so so so nice to see my Mom and Hilde over the holidays! And Hilde, thank you so very much for delivering her to me! It was a real treat! I am truly thankful for all my family and friends around the world! Love you all so much and wishing each and everyone of you a safe and healthy 2014!
2014. That still sounds weird to me. I am going to be 24 this year... okay now THAT sounds weird!
A new year is upon us all. A new beginning as many like to call it. However, it seems to be a half way point for many of us. Middle of a school year, middle of a work term, and the middle of a Disney on Ice tour season! Time has been flying. I am entering the second half of my fourth year with Disney. I like to take this time to reflect on all the adventures I've had, and the places around the world I've been to. Did you know I've been to over 25 countries? Pretty cool, right? :) I have certainly gained a love for travelling. It is in my blood after all. But seriously, between my Mom being a flight attendant with Air Canada, my Dad's engineering craftmenship at airports around the world including Hong Kong and Sydney, and now, my brothers! Kyle has now been on two business trips with work; first to Korea, and most recently, Japan. And congratulations to Mark on completing and receiving his Private Pilot's licence! Now, him and my Dad often go flying together, no biggie :).
I am currently in Stockholm, Sweden, and surprisingly, it is colder at home right now. In fact, there isn't even any snow here. With that said, we will be in Sweden for the next couple weeks, and then we are off to Norway, Finland, Estonia, and Denmark.
I know we are already a few days into the new year but I saw this quote and fell in love with it:
"Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one. - 2014"
Well, what are you waiting for? Start writing :)
With love,
